How many frames should you animate with?

If you subscribe, I add a dot to a wooden canvas that represents you! The more dots added, the more the stipple drawing will be revealed!

NOTE: It is very possible that topics I cover on this channel have been covered on other channels with similar ideas and terms, however I will never intentionally copy anyone

I feel like animators saying to vary the frame rate is highly misleading. Frame rate should nearly always be at 24fps as a video file for smooth film. How many UNIQUE DRAWINGS you do within those 24 frames per second is something entirely different. If you animate on 2's at 24fps that's still 24fps just each drawing is held for 2 frames rather than having 24 unique drawings. Same for 3's, 4's etc. I see people from all levels of animation expertise say "change the fps" or that animating on 2's equals "12fps" but it's not. It's still 24fps or whatever setting you set the playback rate to in the file.

0:10 I like my animation like I like my peanut butter. Chunky.

This is super helpful! And I just started Legend of Korra (though I finished Avatar years ago), and I love the animation style. I always animate at 15fps, because 12 felt like not quite enough for me lol

Ive found your channel at the literal perfect time, I'm practicing animation in procreate for when procreate dreams releases this month

some frames you just have to hold it .... HOLD IT .... HOLD ... IT!!

Hey @Kuzillon! Thank you so much for this tutorial! This made it very easy for me, a VERY new artist and animator, to understand how much work I need to do (how many pictures need to be drawn) vs. how much the frame rate is used to your advantage to manipulate the weight of the scene. I'll be watching a lot more of your stuff. 🙂

I prefer a slower fps because I’m lazy but combining quicker and slower fps is a great idea!

I've tried animating at 20 fps, and damn its so hard going from 14 to 20, I love the movements in 14 because it was a bit choppy, but it has enough smoothness in the frames to where it makes it satifying to watch, I'm only trying to force myself into animating within 20 frames due to collabs I'm joining requiring it

[Bbruh]

Damm i need to watch more videos of this type.
I really do.
Like really really do.
My animation is not that bad but i need to understand more about it.

[Lily_Animationz]

thank you this helped me as aa starter animator!

[Kajurasu]

Thank you for these tutorials, I’ve been dying to get back into animations

[Naraaaa]

This was so helpful TYSM it really helped me understand how many FPS I needed

[PunkiePoper]

I've been teaching myself (and now my 3yo niece) animation and this was so helpful thank you

[TrashyC]

I was so confused because FlipaClip only set it to a set fps

TYSM THIS IS SO USEFUL! 😭

[CadetheDraglin]

Me who can't make animations with fluctuating FPS: *Cries in FlipaClip*

[aussieknuckles]

Nice video, reminded me to hold frames more.

[oddestbox]

Dude your a legend❤! This save me loads of time for my project!!

24 is a lot of work for me, I suck at animations, but 12 is a bit too little for me, so I normally use 15. But occasionally use 24 for certain animations.

[SapphireLuna]

Is there visually a difference between 12 drawings held for 2 frames a 24 FPS, and 12 drawings held for one frame at 12 FPS ?

[Nikku]

I love to animate at 6-10 FPS. 10 isn't a factor of 24, which most animations use, but it is a factor of 30 and 60, which is how I personally do my pixel animations. Under factors of 60, I never do on ones (60fps) or on twos (30fps) and even threes (20fps) is pushing it for me. Fours (15fps), fives (the familiar 12fps that is on twos when under a factor of 24) and sixes (the aforementioned 10fps) are more like it for me.
